We all know what is a Trojan virus (for those who don’t, click here) and what it can do to our computer. And now, it targets online bank accounts. I’ve read in BBC news the details about 500,000 online bank accounts and credit and debit cards have been stolen by a virus described as “one of the most advanced pieces of crimeware ever created”.

The Sinowal trojan has been tracked by RSA, which helps to secure networks in Fortune 500 companies.

Sinowal infects victims computers without leaving any trace

RSA said the trojan virus has infected computers all over the planet.

“The effect has been really global with over 2000 domains compromised,” said Sean Brady of RSA’s security division.

He told the BBC: “This is a serious incident on a very noticeable scale and we have seen an increase in the number of trojans and their variants, particularly in the States and Canada.”

The RSA’s Fraud Action Research Lab said it first detected the Windows Sinowal trojan in Feb 2006.

Since then, Mr Brady said, more than 270,000 banking accounts and 240,000 credit and debit cards have been compromised from financial institutions in countries including the US, UK, Australia and Poland. Continue reading…

From quad core to 6-core processors; The Intel does it all. Now with its latest offer, the Intel Xeon 7400. It has the industry’s highest virtualization performance with built-in key platform innovations and the highest expandability for large-scale server consolidation.

The Xeon 7400, codenamed “Dunnington” is basically three dual-core Penryn processors packed onto a single processor die, along with a large pool of shared L3 cache and interconnect logic. With six cores and three levels of cache on one die, Dunnington is a 1.9-billion-transistor monster. This is almost as big as the company’s latest 2-billion-transistor Itanium chip (launched in February), and it’s quite a milestone for the x86 instruction set. In four- and eight-socket configurations, a supercomputer based on the new Xeon can now execute 48 or 96 simultaneous threads per node, a reality that’s bound to help the architecture advance further in the high performance computing space. And at the very top end, there’s also a 16-socket configuration on offer. Continue reading…

Have you ever see a car that can be driven both in land and in water? I did, but to those who have not yet seen it. Here it is, The Rinspeed sQuba.

The sQuba, developed by Swiss company Rinspeed, is the world’s first car that can be driven both on land and under water. The original idea by Rinspeed founder and CEO Frank M. Rinderknecht was inspired by the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, the exciting new holder of the title of world’s fastest roadster, has made its exciting debut at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. While other supercar-level convertible models such as the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster go with a “true convertible” design with a fully stowable roof, the Bugatti goes a different route.

The wraps – and the roof – have come off the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport here in Monterey, finally answering a question few have asked and even fewer will sample.

As you’d expect, Bugatti hasn’t just hacked the roof off the Veyron and gone to the pub. The windshield is slightly higher, the daytime running lights have been tweaked and then there’s the showpiece: a removable, transparent polycarbonate roof, which blends the A-pillars into two painted carbon fiber strips that lead into the massive air intakes feeding the 1001 hp, quad-turbocharged, W16.

Measuring about the same size as your standard internet router at home, the X3200 is less than a third the size of the average desktop PC tower. Featuring an AMD Phenom quad-core processor, NVIDIA GeForce 8200 chip and up to 4GB of DDR2 memory, it’s just the right size and power for your home computing needs.

Internal storage, on the other hand, is whopping in size - Acer will pack up to 1TB of SATA hard disk drive. That’s a heck of a lot of home movies. Continue reading…
